It would be safe to say that the "AK-47" rifle and its many variants have been indirectly responsible for incalculable military and civilian casualties; perhaps more than any military small arms ever made. The responsibility is indirect because a firearm is an inanimate object; it cannot make decisions ....the person who has their finger on the trigger is the true Grim Reaper. Ultimately, irresponsible and indiscriminate worldwide distribution of this rifle is largely responsible for the sins mistakenly applied to the firearm itself.

There have been many books published about the kalashnikov assault rifles, but this publication differs from most previous works. Covered in detailed text and photographs are the many military AK rifle variants from around the world. However, in place of the previously well-documented early evolution history of Russian military weapons published elsewhere, this book includes an in-depth study of the many variations of the civilian semiautomatic-only AK style rifles that have become very popular in the United States since they were first imported in the early 1980s up to the present time.

This book is most definitive study on Kalashnikov pattern rifles to date. Over 1,100 printed pages covering the AK rifle and its many variants that have been manufactured in over 19 countries. In-depth detailed information and photographs from private collections, museums and military armories around the world. In addition to original military issue AK rifles, this publication includes an in-depth study of the many civilian semiautomatic AK rifles that have become very popular since they were first imported in the early 1980s up to the present time.
